The book's conclusion restates the ways in which the shape taken by the Victorian novel must be understood alongside the simultaneous development of the news as a commercial commodity read by up to a million readers per day. It has been the aim of this book to dismantle any such conceptions of the novel and the newspaper as inhabiting separate spheres. Instead, the novelty of newspapers was evident in the newness and literariness of a form of narrative that has shaped the way we read literature since its conception in the 19th century.
